WILMETTE EIFE Soloist Jfith Commerce Glee Club Affair at Mu.ic T...,le wm Cimax Sac:c:eufal Membenhip Drive Climaxing a successful drive for members which has · been under way for the last week, the Wilmette Chamber of Commerce will hold a "new member" dinner at the Wilmette Masonic temple next Monday evening. · At this dinner the principal speaker will be . J. Heber Hudson, who i s director of the. organization service department of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce. All members of the Chamber of Commerce, old and new, and all persons interested in the work of the Chamber are invited to "sit in" at the dinner, and hear what Mr. Hudson, who has gained a wide reputation in organization and co-operation work, has to say. Membership Bene&ta Stresaed The rapid business development in Wilmette was the . reason for the new member campaign which is to close on Monday. The definite benefits to be derived from a membership were stressed in the drive not only in a business way, but as it concerns the home. All business and professional men of Wilmette and Kenilworth and those of Chicago who live in this community were solicited and the dinner on Monday is indicative of the success of the drive. All those attending the dinner will be interested in Mr. Hudson's talk, for he has chosen as his subject "Push, Pep, Personality and Perspiration." That word "perspiration" gives his speeches a touch of humor that sparkles, but in his serious moments he drives home the points which count heavily in business life. Mr. Hudson will stress the importance of organized work and .co-operation; he will give a few epigrams and tell of the odd experiences he has met while engaging in Chamber of Commerce drives. No man could be more "sold" on the value of the Chamber of Commerce to any community and of the value of organized effort than is Mr. Hudson. Actiye in Commerce Work IS Years Mr. Hudson, who has been in Commerce work for fifteen years, is termed the "Super-Six" by those who know him. The editor of a newspaper in a city where he recently spoke had this to say about him : "Hudson is a combination of Josh Billings, James Whitcomb Riley, Will Rogers and Billy Sunday, all rolled -into one." For the benefit of those who plan to attend the dinner next Monday it is announced that the time is 7 o'clock.

Dr. FraJ}k 0. Beck, from Gar. rett Biblical Institute, was secured as leader. He chose as the title for his series of talks, "Can We Christianize Modern Culture?" and more than fifty people have heard him each Sunday in Pilgrim hall at 12:15 o'clock. This Sunday Dr. Beck will treat the subject of "The Seared and Submerged Classes in Chicago," treating especially some psycho-pathological studies of the moron, the habitual criminal, and the inebriate. Some treatment will also be given to the socalled "Dangerous Age." Vllla DeMetre Will Open Doors to Public March I 5 Villa DeMetre, characterized as "the most modern barbecue and refreshIllent stand in the country," will open its portals for public inspection Thursday, March 15. The location? It's 1623 Sheridan road at the lake front. W. DeMetre, owner and active manger of the Villa DeMetre, has transformed the structure on the site of the former "Shack" refreshment stand, into a marvel of beauty in Spanish architecture. The building is, therefore, in complete harmony with the scheme of architecture employed generally. in the Spanish court area. HEAR EDUCATION LEADER Rev. Robert W. Gammon, secretary of the Congregational Education society, will be the guest preacher at the First Congregational church Sundav morning, March 11, at the 11 o'clock services. ViUage Caucus Time Near; Talking Politics Activity in Wilmette local politics is anticipated within the next week or two, within which time it is expected a public meeting of the People's party will be called for the purpose of considering candidates for three trustee and other village offices. Those trustees whose terms expire this spring are, John Clark Baker, Clarence E. Drayer and John F. Wiedlin. It is learned from authoritative sources this week that Trustees Baker and Drayer are not to be candidates for reelection. Both have been, since its inception, leaders of the Home party, whose candidates sufferecl defeat at the village· election last spring·. The ·approval of the Village board of local improvements following the public hearing last Tuesday night, of. the plans for paving Main street from the Evanston line to Elmwood avenue as the major part of Wilmette's portion of the McCormick highway, brings· this project to the point where its completion before next fall is virtually assured. While there still remains a large amount of legal and preliminary work to be accomplished before actual con-· struction can be started, the adoption of a plan of procedure that is clear cut. brings to a close the long period of effort that has been continuously checked. The motion passed by the improvement board calls for the · preparation of an ordinance which will probably be presented to the Village board at its next reJ!ular meeting. The pavin~ of Main street which has long been considered the most important project in the traffic situation of Wilmette will give the villaf!'e a new avenue for traffic from the north arid south, which means that the nor:h and south arteries to the east will be relieved of a considerable burden.
